Episode 2: The Feuding Farmers of Harmony Woods

This is a brilliantly jolly tale with a great environmental message:

'Can we really own a piece of land? And if the land could speak, what would she have to say about it?'

When two farmers begin to fight over who owns a meadow, a small bog fairy has a very wise solution to solve their disagreement.

This story is part of Test Valley Tales.

'Test Valley Tales' is an Arts Council Funded project and one of Test Valley Arts Foundation's Borough of Culture Legacy Projects. All the stories are set in the beautiful landscape of Test Valley which is in Hampshire in England.
